삶의 매 순간을 "일기일회(一期一會 /

여러분은 이미 충분한 보상을 받은 삶을 살게 될
것입니다.

C. 핵심 Q&A
004 - Why did you choose this career?
= Why did you decide
to become a _____?
= What factors influenced you to choose this career path?
= Why do you want to become a _____?
TIPS: The interviewer is seeking to
understand your underlying motivations for selecting this career.
It is also
a good question for the interviewer to learn how much planning and thought
actually went into your
career selection. Are you there by random acts
and/or chance? Or is this part of a well-designed plan?
For most candidates,
it is somewhere in between, but the interviewer will likely drive into the
details that
you provide, so don't try to bluff your way through this answer
(or any interview answer).
면접관은 당신의 근본적인 직업 선택에 대한 동기를 찾으려 하는 질문이다.
따라서 대충 위기를 모면하려는
대답이 아닌, 직업 선택에 대한 얼만큼의 준비와 생각을 했는지
구체적으로 언급할 필요가 있다.
BEST ANSWER: Your answer needs to convince the
interviewers that your skills are exactly what they want.
They want to know
if you have a realistic view of what it is like to work in their industry.
Be specific; show them
that their industry and your career goals are in sync. Spend
time considering this question before the interview.
This is one of the
questions that often catches a candidate without a solid answer. You need to
think about all of
the factors which influenced your
decision in advance. That doesn't mean you have to include them all.
Be selective.
Include the positive
influences, not the negative ones. If you did advanced research and planning,
this provides
the solid foundation. If there was an individual (or
individuals) who influenced your career selection, that provides
a personal
side to the story. Keep it positive.
선택하는 직업과 본인이 갖는 직업의 목표가 조화를 이루고 있음을 아래의
내용을 포함하여 답을 한다.
* Highlight the positive influences that lead you to apply
for the
job.
* Focus on your relevant skills and character
traits.
* Emphasize your interest in both stability and
growth.
* Stress your interest in the field or industry
as a
whole.
(1) I chose advertising because I have always
been a strong communicator with a good eye for design. I have a particular
interest in creating dynamic eye-catching pieces that support a new product
being introduced to the market. I also like the fast-paced high-energy
environment that seems to be commonplace in the advertising
industry.
(2) I committed myself as an Accounting major my
Freshman year of college. I spent my energies in college preparing myself to
become a world-class accountant. But it wasn't until my internship after my
Junior year that I began to develop my interest in tax accounting. I was
assigned a mentor that summer who continued to stay with me as my mentor after I
graduated who helped me understand the field better and map our my career
plans.
(3) There were many influences that went into my
decision to select this career field. One of my early mentors was a business
friend of my mother, who worked in the insurance industry and encouraged me to
explore opportunities in this field. She pointed me in the right direction to
explore the possibilities. But it was the combination of my career research
along with my professors in my major who helped to solidify my decision. My
internship last summer helped me to get an inside view into the world of work in
this
field.
(4) Well, I took a class with a professor I
really liked, he made the class so fun that I thought this might be a really
interesting way to make a living. I didn't really connect the dots between the
major and potential career until late in my Senior year. Although I love
Chemistry, I wasn't really interested in working for a company in the chemical
field. So I had to look around to see what else I could do with my degree. I
guess I really just fell into this career field because it was the only thing
out there available at the time for someone with my degree. I didn't really plan
it that way.
(5) From the time I was a child, I knew I wanted to do
something like this. I was always correcting things and fixing things that were
lying around, the things everyone else thought were broken. So working in a
field where I get to troubleshoot things every day is just an extension of what
I have always loved to do.
(6)
This feels entirely natural for me. I love being
in a fast-paced environment, working hard to complete a project, talking to a
dozen people at once, coordinating schedules and ideas and plans…that’s why this
kind of job works for me.
(7)
I love to tinker with how things look, which is
why design is great for me. I am never quite satisfied. I always think I can
make it better, and I am doing so up to the point where it goes out to market.
I’m a perfectionist in a market where that’s what gets things done.
(8)
An early mentor of mine was in this field and she pointed me towards my college
major and helped me find internships. As I started to get more experience
through those programs, I realized my creative problem solving skills coupled
with my time management abilities were best suited towards this fulfilling
career path.
(9)
Remember, you want to sell yourself and hiring
managers will appreciate if you put thought into your decision to apply. This
indicates that you are genuinely interested in the position as well as career
advancement opportunities.
